Cheers to hoping they fix the broken trade frequency slider in 17 The Show. Never saw one trade with slider set to 100. Something was wrong

Did you by chance have spu roster control On? I think that nulls any trades, if so.

Wow. This is kind of a big stat to not have visibility on...

It was pointed out to the devs during the season. I'm confident that it will make an appearance in '17, although I have no information that it will outside my own thoughts.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Has anyone else who uses legends in franchise mode noticed Eddie Mathews, Tom Glavine, and Paul Waner's name have to be changed for it to recognize their retired numbers? Mathews needs to be changed to Matthews. Glavine is Glavin. Waner becomes Warner. Willie Horton and Todd Helton aren't recognized by their correct spelling, so the game won't allow their retired numbers to be used. Does anyone know what to change their names to?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

I saw this question asked in a way but didn't get answered. Since defense is more prevalent in the development of the game, how improved are the cpu lineups and roster management at the MLB level?

The original question I saw also asked are teams still carrying 3 catchers and impractical things like that. But I'm asking strictly on a defensive basis how much impact it has had on CPU teams in Franchise mode. I hope they aren't as oblivious to defensive impact anymore. I'd rather them err on the side of caution than take a stupid risk.

Also incase it hasn't been asked and answered yet, I read something here about the analog hitting with stride difficulty was restored on 16' with a day 1 patch. Is that correct and if so does that mean the stride difficulty slider also made a return?

Is there any way to play the upcoming 2017 schedule in Season or Franchise mode in The Show 16?

1. Can you trade more than 3 players at a time in Franchise mode? If so, how?
2. Can you increase visible pitch speed? I recall other games letting you change the speed at which the ball reaches the plate.

1. No
2. Don't mess with them myself but I believe there's a slider setting for that.

Thanks. Can someone confirm #2? I don't see the slider.

There is a fastball and off-speed pitch speed slider that can be adjusted

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

So can I transfer entire rosters over from 16 to 17 or do I have to do it by individual players?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Can I select the manager I want for my team? In either 16 or 17? I know managers entire but I want to replace my manager immediately at the start of the season, with another real MLB manager. Is this possible friends?

Re: MLB The Show 16 Q&A Thread

Didn't know where to put this but, after playing this game since its release I just realised that if you push in the right stick while pitching it brings up the pitch history for the at bat, I always wondered why that was taken out but I guess it wasn't 😂😕😂

go into your Coaches screen and you can hire and fire whoever you want, now obviously lets just say your coach/manager/etc has a multi year contract still with the team, if you fire him before his contract is up, you will have to pay out the rest of his contract(or most of it at least), there will be a pop up before you fire a coach that will explain that to you.
